election results

[adelaidesean]

Well the news is out. (I guess it has been for a while, but the email only went out this week, and I've been busy.) SFWA has a new president, a new committee, and, after a year in which this position was left unfilled, an Overseas Regional Director.
 
I'm enormously honoured to have been accepted in the latter role--and a bit nervous too, I must confess. It's a big world out there, and apparently I'm in charge of it!

Congrats to John, Mary, Robert, Amy, and Lee. Thanks to the people who voted for me. The cheques are in the mail.

Thanks!

Congratulations, Mr Director, sir!

Thanks, Grant. And yes, that is the correct form of address. :-)

I think it should be on the cover of your books with Garth:

"By Garth Nix and Mr Director Sir Sean Williams"

That would *guarantee* that my name appears in a smaller font. :-)

After Dix and Nix, to guarantee I one day co-author a book with you I'm changing my name to Grant Wix.

Wait your turn! Caprica Six is next.

(But seriously, there's a playright in Adelaide called Pat Rix, and I would *love* to work with her...)

That'll look good on the resume!

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Famous last words. :-)

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Messy buckets :-)

Come on, alley view?

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

None. Add you?

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Whew!

(...which of course requires no translation. I knew we were going to get there, but I wasn't sure precisely how. )

Congratulations, Sean. I'm assuming you're open to bribes of chocolate and New Wave tracks? :)

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Yes, no changes there. :-) Thanks, Chuck!

Congrats, and remember "Power corrupts, absolute power is even more fun".

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Mwahaha!
